'Tax the Air' Claire: McCaskill's Cap-and-Trade Problem

The Missouri GOP has unleashed another scathing attack on Claire McCaskill, this time focusing on her cap-and-trade positions:

* FLIP: Earlier this year, Claire McCaskill claimed in Missouri that “We’ve got to make sure that whatever policies we have, are not going to make energy too expensive for people.” McCaskill has also claimed that she has been “very clear that [she] would never vote for cap-and-trade.”

* FLOP: McCaskill told the St Joseph News-Press that she is “supportive of a cap-and-trade,” she voted for cap-and-trade and later bragged that the Senate nearly passed it, she voted twice to allow the EPA to implement a backdoor cap-and-trade scheme, and she voted to allow the EPA’s job-destroying Cross-State Air Pollution Rule to go into effect.

Here's the video:

It should be noted that cap-and-trade is one of the single most dangerous proposals in the history of the United States.

It's a way for liberals to literally tax the friggin air, which sounds like a punchline or a political bit on Saturday Night Live but is actually what they've come up with in their neverending quest to screw America's economy to death.

(Liberalism: making SNL-worthy sketches a reality since 2009)

Anyone in support of a tax system invented out of thin air to tax that same thin air should be publically lambasted at every turn for it. It's disgraceful.

Comments

Claire needs to be voted out of the Senate, then told to move to Cuba(the country) where they would they would appreciate her liberal ideas. Well, at least the Castros would, not so much the people.
Make Claire go away in Nov.
